    What can I say? The BBC showing there usual true colours this weekend with prioritising our so called minority sport. If you want to see MotoGP on Sunday be prepared to stay up till early hours of Monday morning. If you're into triathalon then you'll have a treat on Sunday afternoon 'cause that's what's on instead.

    Closely followed by Eurosport, ok we get WSB but what happened to Moto3? looks like it's been cut short with only the full live Moto2 race to watch allbeit there is an interest in this one (come on Scott!!) But there is always the highlights to watch and I'd much rather listen to Toby and Jules than Charlie one more time across the stripe, nightmare in a bubble car Cox.

    Enjoy your bike racing weekend folks

    Triathlon's cheap, mate, and the BBC has a considerable back hander budget it needs to budget for. Stick with it though, the dubious phone voting revenue from SCFD will be rolling in to their coffers soon, they'll be investing that in some terrific sport coverage, no doubt. I hear wrestling's making a come back...

    BBC lost Moto GP next year to BT Sport, and little wonder is it !
    They pay little notice of the thousands of Moto GP fans out there, and seem to push it to the red button at any opportunity.
    BBC Moto Gp coverage never been the same since Sexy Suzi left, and I was very pleased when she got the F1 gig.
    Would it be so difficult for the BBC to flick a switch and put the coverage onto BBC3 if needs be??
    Rant over, for now anyway

    'Sexy Susie' ?

    I think not! :eek:

    I far prefer the other candidate for the F1 job (Lee McKenzie) who was already in the F1 paddock and had been for years and was well respected by the Drivers and was their preferred option.
